Rep. Laurel Libby is running for re-election to represent Auburn & Minot. She is also one of a tiny number of Maine state legislators with a 0% lifetime score on the Maine AFL-CIO Working Families Legislative Scorecard. That’s pretty hard to do! pic.twitter.com/jn8VbsTru9

A huge victory for Michigan home care workers!

Meanwhile, actual voter fraud is happening in #Ohio but @FrankLaRose and @DaveYostOH have said nothing. Proves two things:

As AG, @KamalaHarris cracked down on wage theft & delivered for working people.
